EVEN now, in early January, the pantomime season is still in full swing in Edinburgh. Oh yes it is!
Auld Reekie’s famous big stage panto has relocated from the King’s Theatre to its splendid sister venue the Festival Theatre, while the campaign continues to fund the redevelopment of The King’s. The show – which, as ever, boasts the very considerable pantomime talents of Allan Stewart and Grant Stott – switches from Tollcross to Nicolson Street for at least two years.
As we can see in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the move is a case of many things changing, while much stays the same. The Festival Theatre stage is wider and deeper than the boards at the King’s.
